Login using your email address (first.last@washburn.edu) and WUAD password (the one you log into your computer with)

If you logged into your computer with your email address and are accessing Outlook Web App in Internet Explorer then your login information will be passed automatically after you enter your email address

If you are using a different email program, when setting it up with the new system you can usually utilize the autodiscover feature

If autodiscover doesn't work, use the following settings:

IMAP setting

Server name: outlook.office365.com

Port: 993

Encryption method: SSL

SMTP setting

Server name: smtp.office365.com

Port: 587

Encryption method: SSL

It may take to 24 hours after migration begins to complete the final sync of all mail.

Some recent mail will be noticeably missing during migration – we perform a sync to transfer the bulk of your e-mail at an earlier time; we then run another incremental sync after migration to capture mail received between the two events. There may be a significant delay if we are processing a number of users.

Client e-mail filters or mail processing rules from Thunderbird or other clients will have to be re-created, they can’t be migrated. These will be implemented as rules on Office 365. Right-click on an e-mail to create a new rule.

Rules created in the web client run server-side. Rules created in the Outlook desktop application run client side and will only be applied when Outlook is started or while it is running.

Read-receipts are blocked until the campus migration is complete.

At this stage, Lync, Calendar, Skydrive, and Sharepoint are available along with Outlook on Office 365, however our priority is on email and we may not be able to effectively support the other services right away. We may also need to make changes to them as we proceed. We don’t want to discourage experimenting with them, but be aware that you use them at your own risk.

Office 365 may direct you to a Lync Professional 2013 download – Do not install that, it cannot be licensed for personal or work use under our agreements (Lync Professional 2013 is available for university-owned systems with our campus license, but must use a different installer)

What's an Ichabod?

Washburn's mascot, the Ichabod, honors the school's early benefactor, Ichabod Washburn, a 19th century Massachusetts industrialist. The original design of the studious-looking, tuxedo-clad figure was created in 1938 by Bradbury Thompson (ba '34), who became an internationally acclaimed graphic artist. Design wasn't Thompson's only consideration. To the stylized Ichabod the artist attributed the qualities of "...courage and enthusiasm, as shown by his brisk walk. He is democratic and courteous, for he tips his hat as he passes. Sincere in his search for truth and knowledge, he studiously carries a book under his arm..."
